Great response time. The latest update crashed when I hit the "plant something" tab. I sent crash report. Was thanked for this. Email confirming fix and update within 12 hours! A great app full of information that adjusts to my locality.

Good details, would love a few more options I love that I can check on plant compatibility and fine details about each. I wish I could add plants to garden before planting, to help me plan better (and give specific windows within a month for best planting). I also wish I could manage multiple gardens in one app (also like Rodale's Organic Gardening app). If there were an app with features of both apps, I'd only use one.

Calendar broken It doesn't create any actual information in my calendar. No plant name or action. It just creates a pop-up expects me to do the date calculations and enter it in myself. It also has a bunch of information about what not to plant it with, but I'm expected to calculate that manually myself as well.

Can't complain! I haven't "used" this app as yet, (I just bought it) but a quick browse around it certainly looks promising. I'd really like to grow more of my own food, but really need something to physically remind me to do so, because as you all know, planting times are all important! This might actually help me in that regard! I also love the feature of Australian climates, as most of these gardening apps are for the US only, which is next to useless. I am SO looking forward to using this! And although future customers might hate me for saying this....I would actually be happy to pay more for this app, just because it seems so complete. Thank you for making this wonderful gift to the world! &lt;3

Great service and app Great service from support on questions before installation! Interfaces well with phone calendar reducing need for typing in descriptions. Would LOVE to see Lunar planting guide included as I am currently referring to Lyn Bagnalls moon planting guide then transposing to App/calendar reminder. Would also LOVE a widget to display on phone with upcoming 'reminders'. Great work - love the www - can't wait for more! Rose

Greap app, minor issues I know you are working hard guys and its a great app and all. But it would be lovely to have small pictures of fruits and veg next to description. And it would be nice to be able to connect the app to your seed supplier via link for an immediate and direct order. Four stars until then. Kind regards. George

Awesome app! I love this app. I have a few gardening apps I have downloaded now and this one is by far the best. It has pretty much all the information I could what when it comes to sowing and growing my veg. Also like being able to add pictures. If there is anything more id like to see added it would be the option to add captions on the pictures and also the addition of blueberries/raspberries etc to the library. Thank you for a fantastic app!

Love love love it! I love the new update. You guys are doing this right!! Finally something that works for MY area!! Would love a way to be able to add a picture and measurements of the garden (like an overlay on the pic) and add labels for plants so can plan rotation gardening. Would also love a beneficial plants section and fruit trees section. And maybe something about what to do in the garden this month and this will be the bestest app ever!

Good app. Really like this app. There are a few features which would make it better, like watering information and fertilizing tips. A schedule or alert function for fertilizing that could be added to the plant profile would make this app totally awesome and complete. Thanks.

It doesn't access your phone number, but asks the phone for your geographical region so it can set the default climate zone. Unfortunately the permission to do this is bundled in with the rest of the phone permissions.
And now I've found that the permission isn't needed after all, so the app doesn't ask for it anymore!

Fantastic app! Been using this app for over 12 months now. I love the planting guide for different climate zones - so many seed packets don't take that into account in their instructions. I've also found the in-depth information on each listing has helped me develop a better producing garden now that I know what can and can't be planted together. Well done, keep it up!

Great for planting outdoors This is great for knowing what to plant when, and keeping tabs on everything. Some of the plants harvest dates were QUITE off, but hey- I kind of figured that out the moment I looked at it. I know there is a setting for planting seedlings outside, but I wish there was a way for you to track the moment you started the seeds indoors while still having a realistic harvest date. (It won't be the same as if you had planted it outside.) But a good app that I reccomend.

A few features missing It would be good to get notifications automatically for best time feed prune harvest etc or set custom alarm notifications get plants in garden I would like to have a moon calender added with notification of when planting is due

Really useful! I love gardening, and I lead a busy life. This application allows me to get straight into planting and enjoy the limited time I have out working in my veggie patch. Well worth the $. I like everything about it, it does what it says, well, which is exactly what I wanted. A good addition would be additional gardening guides, such as permaculture and tips. really good start.

Great tool. Been waiting for something like this for years For people with very large gardens (multiple gardens) it may be useful to have a list of configurable 'locations' where things can be planted. Eg. Glasshouse, Main Garden, Terrace etc. I have been using the web based site and email reminders but this is just great!

Excellent! As a beginner in the garden this app looks very promising. The calendar that tracks planting and harvest time, along with info on which plants are compatible in the same bed saves me a lot of research time.

Awesome app Easy to use. Great to keep track of everything in my veggie patch. Can I ask for a feature to be added? The ability to sync across my devices. Would love if it synced on both my nexus 5 and iPad :)

Were have you been all my garden? I have had to pull allot of research on my climate and when to plant what. This app makes it so easy for all those commonly planted veggies. A longer list would be nice or a "request" type option to import different plants than what are listed?

The best by far It's my 3rd year. And I am still using this app. It is by far the most useful app for a beginner vegetable gardner. So I have this on both,my,kindle and my phone. It is very useful. However, is it possible to have a harvest been date and a harvest end date. It would give us more accurate information regarding completion of harvest and perhaps out could self adjust the days too harvest based on start and end dates?? Thanks for a great app. It helps me stay on top of my garden planning and planting.
